Abstract— Recent research has shown that forwarding speculative data to other processors before it is requested can improve the performance of multiprocessor systems. The most re...
The placement of on-die decoupling capacitors (decap) between the power and ground supply grids has become a common practice in high performance processor designs. In this paper, ...
Abstract— The continuing divergence of processor and memory speeds has led to the increasing reliance on larger caches which have become major consumers of area and power in embe...
Abstract-- We deconstruct and compare the two dominant existing approaches for L1 data cache (L1D) error protection, with respect to performance, L2 cache bandwidth, power, and are...
— Identifying performance bottlenecks is important for microarchitects and application developers to produce high performance microprocessor designs and application software. Man...
